Ξένος ὢν ἴσθι. (Appreciate when you are an outsider.)

—Inscription at the inner chamber of the Temple of Apollo, 650 B.C.E.

不識廬山真面目

只緣身在此山中

(You cannot know the real face of Mountain Lu when you are inside it.)

—蘇軾 《題西林壁》

It does not seem important or even desirable to be “right” and in place … Better to wander out of place … and not ever to feel too much at home anywhere.

—Edward W. Said, Out of Place: A Memoir
